and a happy labor day to everyone. i'm jim acosta. erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. "outfront" next, the u.s. passes a tragic pandemic milestone 40 million confirmed covid cases as schools are seeing a surge of cases among students and staff and growing questions about when booster shots will even be available. also, 800 nursing home residents forced to ride out hurricane ida in a warehouse. the conditions appalling. seven people have died. i'll talk to the wife of one man in that warehouse how he's doing tonight. a form eer marine in full by

armor charged with killing four people including a baby. why? hear what he confessed to police. let go "outfront". good evening. i'm poppy harlow in for erin tonight. tonight, 40 million, the united states passing another grim milestone, the number of confirmed covid cases in the united states since the start of the pandemic has now topped 40 million. it is a number that would have been unimaginable at the start of the pandemic, yet, here we are 18 months later. high levels of transmission in every single state and not just spreading faster. deaths are also up but nearly 250% from just one month ago. this is not a crisis administration thought it would be dealing with to this magnitude this labor day. just look where we were at the start of the summer, memorial day, may 31st. this country was averaging about

17 17,200 cases a day. two days later june 2nd president biden declared this about the summer of 2021. >> america is headed into the summer dramatically different from last year's summer. a summer of freedom. a summer of joy. a summer of get-togethers and celebrations. and all american summer that this country deserves after a long, long dark winter that we've all endured. >> instead, the number of covid cases spiked. the united states is now averaging 163,700 cases per day. summer celebrations scaled back and mask mandates returning and states running out of icu beds and a surge of cases in schools as our kids go back to the classroom. the "wall street journal" is reporting that in the 31 states where school is already underway, at least 1,000 schools had to close because of covid and the pandemic is hitting classrooms in the south where they were among the first to open especially hard. in south carolina, a fourth

grader reportedly died from covid last week. in florida, 15 staffers of the miami-dade county public school system have reportedly died from covid in the last ten days and in texas, an entire school district had to shut down after two teachers died from covid last month. and the situation is only expected to get worse as millions of kids in the northeast and across this country head back to school this week. now, this all comes as there is growing confusion over booster shots two weeks before the national rollout was set to begin, the biden administration is no longer committing to the september 20th date and that has governors who are on the front lines of this crisis extremely frustrated. >> we've got people that are well beyond six months that are 60 and older that need the booster shot, and we can't give it to them because we're being held up by, you know, the nation and on the federal level right now. >> we need clear guidance on these booster shots because it

undermines, you know, the credibility of it. >> let's go to kaitlan collins "out front "tonight at the white house. good to viehave you. the biden administration taking heat from them. what is the administration saying. >> reporter: they say it's confusing because everyone has that september 20th date in their mind of when they got pfizer and moderna they're going to get a pooster booster shot potentially. the white house pushed back saying all along this relies on fda and cdc approval for this to actually go forward. still, it does stand people are raising questions about booster shots. some people are already hitting that eight-month mark so they are raising questions whether or not they need to be getting a booster shot, but of course, all of this will come down to the fda and the cdc making that decision, and right now what we are expecting according to sources inside administration is that pfizer will get the go ahead for the booster shot but it might be a it willlittle bit

delay. that is something the white house is dealing with and that we'll likely hear from this week when we get a briefing from the covid-19 officials, but poppy, this comes as there is questions about just the uncertainty generally across the nation when it comes to the pandemic because we're in a very different place than the white house and president biden thought we would be come september when they thought it is going to be complete reopenings and people going back to the offices and of course, they are dealing with what is driven by this delta surge, and the numbers that you just laid out there where we're hitting numbers we have not seen in months, especially when it comes to deaths and hospitalizations and so that is obviously a major concern inside the white house. it's affecting president biden's poll numbers because according to a poll out from "the washington post" and abc, poppy, his numbers are down 10% of the approval of his handling of the pandemic compared to where they were in late june, which of course is right before the president held his july 4th sales speech on the south lane saying they weren't out of the woods

yet but in a better place. we expected the president to give another major speech outlining the next steps they want to take to get the coronavirus under control with this delta variant and a lot of people will be watching to see what the guidance is coming from the federal administration on that. so expect some news in that speech potentially on vaccines and what their plan is going forward but very much not where the white house expected to be in september and of course, a lot of this is unknown. a lot of it is driven by the delta surge and this is having anfec effect on the economy wit the president saying the jobs report on the month of august on the delta variant. >> that's right and will they make a bolder move toward more federal mandates. we'll see. thanks a lot. let me bring in professor of the infectious disease at florida international university and dr. lance van gundy that works in an emergency room in iowa dealing with a surge in covid patients. good evening to you both and thank you for joining me. dr. marty, you advised the m

miami-dade schools on masks even in the face of florida governor ron desantis signing that order banning mask mandates at schools, and now, these reports that 15 people in the district, teachers, staff members, have died from covid in the last ten days. how concerned are you where we are in this pandemic tonight? >> so i am extremely concerned about what we have been experiencing. please bear in mind that the people who are reported to have died acquired covid quite a few weeks ago. so it's not really reflective of exactly what is happening right now. that's a really important thing to bear in mind. we are getting a slight decrease in our number of people hospital li ized but have a high rate of hospitalizations here and i think it's really important that people understand that our communities need to have as much good, solid information and

truthful without a lot of emotion so that people can take the actions that encourage them to do the right things. many studies have already shown that nations that effectively communicate with their population and get cooperation not only have fewer cases, fewer hospita hospitalizations, fewer deaths but their economies are better, as well. >> right. it hits all of those elements. dr. van gundy, your state iowa is dealing with a relentless surge in hospitalizations up 46% from just two weeks ago. you do have 61% of the population over 12 years old fully vaccinated. but just the other day you shared your frustration in this video, this facebook video that really went viral. i watched it. it was incredibly touching. i want our viewers to see part of it. here it is. >> we're drowning in 35dying in

this illness. in my e.r. i had to hold a stroke case, meningitis, these are people that should have been transferred to icus right away and there are no icus in the state of iowa. they're all full. >> you said this is like walking a marathon and not knowing where the end is. what inspired you to post that video so everyone could see what you're dealing with? >> i felt like after a long week of struggling to find normal solutions for people i had met a really nice couple who were in the early phases of covid, but you could just see where their illness was going to go because they were both very high risk, and i just wanted to know why they chose not to get vaccinated, and it was a very friendly conversation, and what i left with was they were scared. i think they had had a lot of misinformation. they also thought it would cost them money. so i was just very frustrated that because of some bad

information and communication here was another couple that was probably going to contribute to the problem and not the solution, and so i felt like i needed to say something. >> of course. and hopefully your message resonated with a lot of people. d m dr. marty, there is a lot of confusion on top of this misinformation and disinformation out there about the vaccine. there is legitimate confusion because of this back and forth on boosters. the white house said americans who got the pfizer or moderna vaccine should be able to get boosters for both on september 20th if they were eight months past the second dose and now saying we don't know when the fda is going to give the green light, when it does, we're ready to go. what is the impact of confusion like this on public health? >> it goes back to what we were talking about. the bottom line is we have to communicate clearly why we're holding off on doing the boosters. it the process that we have to

make sure that we do it right the first time. that's what the fda is all about and there is a lot of different data that has to be taken into consideration and that is exactly what they're doing but it shouldn't lead anyone to think the vaccines are notfect t -- effective. they are extremely effective. this is a huge difference in risk, not just risk of severe disease and death which of course there is a huge difference there but the risk of getting sick. many studies show that. the truth is, we have to do it right and show yes, there is a dropping of immunity from the vaccine and therefore, many countries have already started giving either a booster or a third shot depending on the condition of the individual and we probably will, as well, but not until all the data is in and analyzed. >> right. right. that's the process that it has to go through.

dr. van gundy, to you in addition to the medical crisis that you and your team is dealing with every day, you're battling this crisis of misinformation you talked about in the video and said it feels like a third world country sometimes. what else are you hearing from patients that you want to respond to so that they know the facts? >> yeah, i want to respond dr. marty is right. the vaccine is effective and s safe. when you hear 88% of the icu patients are unvaccinated, that should tell you how effective the vaccine is. i'm not taking care of anybody in the e.r. that comes in with a vaccine related problem. i have yet to see that. i am every day mitigating the complications of covid and the way it rip pples across the medical community and saturates the over burdened system. be part of the solution. get your vaccine and contribute to getting on board to fight this disease.

>> yeah, save yourself and help everyone else. thank you both so much. "outfront" next as president biden prepares to hit the hardest hit areas from hurricane ida in louisiana the suffering is getting worse. nearly half a million people there still without power. the state's lieutenant governor joins me next. also, capitol police scheduled to brief lawmakers this week about an upcoming rally raising serious concerns about potential violence on capitol hill and emmy nominated actor michael k williams who starred in the wire and boardwalk empire has been found dead in his apartment. details ahead. we've got the bess on refrigerators, microwaves, gas ranges and grills. and if you're looking for... frequent heartburn? not anymore. the prilosec otc two-week challenge is helping people love what they love again. just one pill a day. 24 hours. zero heartburn. because life starts when heartburn stops.

president biden traveling to new york and new jersey, approving a major disaster decoloration. 45 of the deaths occurred in new jersey and new york and in louisiana, painful and slow recovery nine days after ida made landfall. right now new orleans and the surrounding areas are under a flash flood watch from storms capable of 2 to 3 inches of rain. this comes as nearly half a million people are still without power nine days after ida made landfall. "outfront" now republican lieutenant governor of louisiana. thank you, lieutenant governor for being here tonight. >> thank you. >> you've got 500,000 people without power across your state, the energy provider says look,

there are some places where they're not going to get power back until at least september 29th. so that would be more than four weeks after ida made landfall. is that an acceptable timeline? can you speed it up? >> it never acceptable. hopefully, we can cut some of that time off of that. we're having to make use of the shelters. we're now only accepting residents that have lost their homes into our state parks and making every opportunity to make due, but it's a tough time to be without power in louisiana and we're hoping they can shave time off of that for some of those critical areas. >> i mean, you've got -- you're facing heat of 100 degrees across the state. many gas stations out of fuel or don't have the electricity to pump it. people can't get fuels to run generators on and on and on. i'm wondering if you're concerned like the parish president i spoke with this morning is that you may see more

deaths now in the wake of ida because of this. >> that's true. we have areas that still have water and six feet of marsh grass inundated that community. those people won't be going home for awhile. they're in crowded shelters and with covid, it doubles exposure to have people get sick or die. so it's a critical situation here that we're juggling a lot of balls trying to accommodate as many people as safely as possible. >> yeah, of course. let me ask you about the alarming deaths of these nursing home residents evacuated to a warehouse. the death toll is now seven after more than 800 people endured absolutely squalling conditions at this warehouse. we hear about people laying in their own unrairine and feces. the attorney general is investigating. can you update us on anything learned so far? >> i don't have any updated

information except we're learning about the incredible number, i think over 50 calls to 911 of the alarming relatives of those people cries for help and to pack that many people into one warehouse is just unthinkable and how can this happen after we've gone through katrina and had those deaths in the nursing homes then and set things in place so this would never happen again? it's just unthinkable. it's embarrassing and i don't know what you tell the people of these loved ones that lost their family members because of these horrible conditions in the way these people were handled. >> well, to dig into it a little more lieutenant governor, it appears that a plan like this may have been actually signed off on previously by the state. "the times" newspaper as you know is reporting plans submitted and approved by louisiana's department of health in the state said the warehouse would be used as an alternate

square facility in the event of an emergency. so were you aware this was the plan? it a mistake to approve the plan and i wonder does policy now change? >> i'm sure it will change. if that was approved by the state, which i've heard the same thing. i haven't verified that but to put 800 people in a warehouse is never a good thing. so if that plan was approved by someone without looking into it more detailed, it was a bad plan to approve in the first place. we got to look into every aspect how this happened and make sure it never happens again. we said that before for katrina but i promise you, there is going to be some changes here in louisiana to where this could never happen again and that there is more checks and balances of who is approving plans, how those plans get approved and that the local elected officials that really care and the people that really care in this industry have a say so in the plans. >> yeah, look, that's such an important message for these

families reeling with grief. thank you for that lieutenant governor. >> thank you. >> and good luck. >> well, speaking of the families, andrew hicks was one of the more than 800 nursing home residents forced to ride out the storm in that warehouse. his wife found out after her brother saw this photograph that we're now showing you of her husband andrew being taken out of the warehouse. "outfront" now is andrew's wife of 33 years terry hicks. good evening. thank you for your time tonight. >> good everyning. you're welcome. >> that photo of your husband, his face clearly, he's in pain, clearly he's grief stricken. it says so much and seven people who are with him in that warehouse died. i know his foot, as we can see it heavily bandaged right there. it is very mangled and you even told one of my colleagues that it needs to be amputated.

how is he coping tonight? >> he's not coping well at all. he is -- he's still traumatized from i don't know what to call it, but he is very traumatized and he's not himself. it's not the andrew that i know. before the hurricane, andrew was jolly and he was talkative. now, he is not talking as much. he's in a lot of pain, and he's also very upset from what he went through during that time, and i just don't know -- you know, i just can't describe what -- you know, how i seen him and then seeing other people and

the way how they was laying on the mattresses, it was horrible. for me, it was very, it was very hurtful to see him so -- it's like he was in distress. >> of course. and, you know, as i was reading about what you've gone through, you were calling for days for answers for just to know where your husband was. >> oyes, yes, i was. i was hard that i have to find him myself because two days later, the louisiana department of health they called and said that oh, we have your husband. i said you have my husband? yeah, we have him at the carol indoor track facility at the lsu campus. i said no, i have my husband. he's at the hospital. he's at the -- our lady of the lake hospital. i said i found him myself instead of waiting on them

calling me to let me know where my husband was, i did it myself. i didn't have to -- i didn't wait for him to call. they call after the fact. and that is very unacceptable. >> it shouldn't be like that and i know that you have said over and over again, look, i want answers, accountability. i want to understand how this could happen and i wonder as of tonight now nine days after ida made landfall, has anyone from the nursing home, from the state department of health given you an explanation? >> no, ma'am. not at all. i haven't received not one call, not one email. i haven't received anything from anyone. >> i'm so sorry. i hope that them seeing this hopefully they will call and give you the answers you and all these families deserve. terry hicks, we're thinking about you and of course, about your husband. thank you. >> thank you so much. well, "outfront" next cnn learning serious discussions are now underway to reinstate

tonight, cnn is learning the u.s. capitol police department will brief lawmakers this week about a right wing rally that is raising serious concerns about potential violence on capitol hill. hundreds of people are expected to protest in support of the january 6th rioters, the insurrectionists who they are calling political prisoners, jessica schneider is "outfront". >> we're doing back to the capitol right where it started on september 18th. >> reporter: former trump campaign operative is blasting plans to get hundreds to the u.s. capitol next saturday. to support the 600 plus rioters facing federal charges. he calls them political

prisoners who have been wrongfully prosecuted even though many of them were caught on tape january 6th. >> we're going to push back against the narrative there was an insurrection. >> reporter: his plans are prompting security concerns on capitol hill. in april a car slam into a police barricade killing one officer and injuring another. in mid august, a man claiming to have a bomb set off a five-hour stand off with police before surre surrendering. no bomb was found. cnn has learned dc police will be fully activated on september 18th days off cancelled for officers and civil disturbance on stand by. the department is monitoring online chatter and travel bookings to gauge the possible crowds. cnn learned capitol police requested support from maryland and virginia to be fully prepared even at the crowds don't materialize. >> we don't know what to anticipate and it could be if 5,000 people show up instead of

500, we need to be prepared for that and so we're going to make sure we have enough folks in place to handle the demonstration. >> we will not accept political perse persecution. >> reporter: supporters have small rallies. prominent republicans have also echoed the false narrative. >> are we housing political prisoners? we need to know the answers. >> reporter: brainard insists september 18th will be peaceful and hebi wants members of extremist groups to stay away. >> this isn't the day to wear that clothing. what we're looking for is pure patriotism. >> there is question and concern tonight about whether members of the oath keepers or even the proud boys could show up at the september 18th rally. one expert i talked with poppy said there is some doubt this rally will actually attract big numbers but despite that, there is serious talk of rebuilding the temporary fencing that

surrounded the kcomplex for months after january 6th putting it back up as a precaution according to law enforcement sources. >> thank you for that reporting. "outfront" andrew mccabe and former secretary of the homeland security. director mccabe, how seriously should law enforcement take this threat given what we saw play out before our eyes on january 6th? >> well, poppy, i think they should take it very seriously, they should take it more seriously than they took the same sort of intelligence they likely saw on january 6 -- 5th. i think there is a few factors leaning in their favor. if you think about it january 6th was a failure because you have a massive group of people and complete failure of preparation. in this case, it looks likely that they'll get somewhat smaller crowd with, you know, things like the proud boys telling some of the members not to come. you don't have a sitting

president actively fans the flames and trying to get people to attend the rally. and on the other hand, it looks like from all indications our law enforcement partners are well prepared for this and are taking intelligence seriously, which raises the question whether or not they did on january 6th but that's another issue. >> yeah. and in terms of dealing with what could happen, juliette, as jessica just reported, sources tell cnn serious discussions are underway about maybe reinstalling the temporary fencing around the capitol's perimeter ahead of the rally. is it necessary, do you think? >> at this stage it probably is temporarily because they don't have a permanent solution yet. crowd control is much more sophisticated than a wall or fence. i think until we get that sophistication as was recommended in the review about january 6th, more surveillance, more bio metric, more identification around the building, identification checks

we have to put the fence back in for a short period of time but i think andrew is exactly right a point that we cannot minimize. the combination of not having donald trump working these people up, plus not having him deny or make intelligence agents nervous about moving forward as suggested that the public safety apparatus will be much larger than any organization and that's a good thing. i think it's about time that we started showing really these insurrectionists or punks is a better way to put it sometimes that we're not fooling around anymore and these prosecutions and shows of force and saying this is no joke, the republicans may think it a joke, that is important right now. >> and director mccabe, this rally comes after several sitting republican lawmakers have fueled this narrative that these rioters are somehow political prisoners. just listen to a few of them.

>> these january 6th defendants are being treated like political prisoners of war? they're being treated worse there than the blood thirsty terrorist at guantanamo. >> the reason they are taking these political prisoners, they're trying to make an example. >> you hear that over and over again from sitting lawmakers. i mean, what is that do to national security, director? >> well, poppy, it's just remarkable to me. i don't know that we've ever seen a situation where you have active members of congress elected officials who are embracing what they know to be lies, false truths, conspiracy theories and by doing so, validating the extreme -- the domestic extremists, the far right extremists that are actually posing a threat to our capitol. so they're not only validating those folks and raising their ridiculous false conspiracy

theories to some level of legitimacy but working against our law enforcement and intelligence officials. they're making the situation worse creating a bigger risk by encouraging those who might be motivated to act vie olently. it head spinning but i guess it a sign of our political discourse today. >> and juliette, on that point, i should note it's not a ma majority of republican lawmakers by any measure that is saying that but you have a very outspoken republican member of congress, adam kinzinger hitting on the house committee investigating january 6th say this weekend that his party needs to start embracing the truth and stop embracing conspiracy theories. you know, or they can effectively lead in a ma majori. he said that to dana bash but he's sort of on an island. can you speak to national security implications if you

don't have a majority of a party, of his party echoing what he's saying which is stop this non-sense. >> it is a challenge from the security perspective because it breeds the radicalization that we're seeing and this is where i don't -- you know, not my job to fix the republican party but here is a suggestion. this fire will never go out with more gas. i mean, in other words, they keep thinking if i just ignore it, if i just cater to him, if i just whatever that all of it goes away. it doesn't as we've seen so there is only two options. one is the fire just keeps burning and brings that house down or the other is that they want it. i am now of the belief that the republican party wants it only because this is part of an election strategy to undermine, you know, people's confidence in the vote, to voter suppression, all of it is linked to that undermining democracy. so now this is why i'm sort of like done sort of, you know, wondering why anymore and i just

think these shows of force, these prosecutions, the surveillance, the guys turning on each other, the dema deplatforming, all of it is no joke and until republicans realize it's no joke we have to assume they're deadly serious to bring down the next election. we're at that stage now. it's not like they don't know what is happening. >> right. thank you both. let's hope for a very peaceful rally ahead.

tonight, quote, i'm a sick guy, police say those are the words of an ex marine sharp shooter charged with shooting

and killing a 3--month-old baby and three others in lakeland, florida. the victims complete strangers and police say the gunman claimed god told him to do it. nick valencia is "outfront". >> reporter: why did you shoot them? why did you do this? >> reporter: his eyes closed and hands cuffed behind his back 33-year-old brian riley ignored questions from reporters on his way to jail. the polk county sheriff says the form erma rein confessed to shooting several people at this lakeland, florida home, but they still don't know why. four people were killed including a 33-year-old woman and her 3 month old. >> we had a madman with a lot of guns that shot and killed innocent people. >> reporter: when sheriffs the presidenties ar-- deputies arrid

at the horrific scene they found a truck on fire and confronted riley out front of the home in body armor and camouflage and he retreated inside before they heard a woman scream followed by gunshots and the wimper of a baby. bullet holes and broken glass showed the after mothmath of th shootout. riley surrendered after being shot once. >> we're not dealing with a traditional criminal here. what we're dealing with is someone who obviously had mental health issues at least this last week, had ptsd and whether or not we follow that back to the military, we don't know. >> reporter: riley spent four years as an active duty marine designated sharp shooter who served in iraq and afghanistan. he spent another three years as a marine reserve. according to the polk county

sheriff's office. ril e riley's fiancee the ptsd was noticeably worse this last week. he was acting erratically and according to an affidavit had recently come home after working as a security guard at a church to say he believed he could speak directly to god adding to the disturbing details, police say riley confessed he shot the infant because i'm a sick guy. a self-described survivalist riley admitted to being high on meth during the killings. at this stage of the investigation, there is no known connection between the victims and the suspect. >> if he had given us the opportunity, we should have shot him up a lot but he didn't because he was a coward. >> reporter: riley made the first court appearance today where a judge denied his bond. he's currently being held on four counts of first-degree murder and what police really want to figure out, poppy is why he would drive 45 minutes to a

stranger's home to do this. they say he initially arrived at the lakeland area residence sometime saturday evening and pled before police arrived to come back nine hours later to carry out the shooting rampage. an 11-year-old was shot seven times according to police, expected to survive. >> thank goodness but what a tragedy. nick valencia, thank you.
